Jurgen Klopp has hinted that he could retire from management at Liverpool.
Klopp will turn 50 in June and is barely two years into his Anfield reign. He is also less than 12 months into a new six-year deal penned last summer.
Should he see out the full length of the contract, the German will spend seven years as Reds manager, similar to his spells at Borussia Dortmund and Mainz.
The ex-Bundesliga coach previously revealed that he has no plans to manage by the time he turns 60 and does not foresee himself taking on a series of short-term roles.
“I will not have been in charge of 10 different clubs once my managerial career is over,” Klopp told Sport1.
“There is a not insignificant chance I will have coached three clubs. I would say it is very unlikely I will become a club-hopper all of a sudden.
“On the contrary, it is always quite easy for me to fully commit to what I am doing because they are often long-term projects.”
Klopp is also under no illusions that lifting silverware remains key to his longevity plans as Liverpool manager.
He added: “If I fulfil my contract with Liverpool then there is a good chance I will have won something here.
“I could be in an uncomfortable situation if we do not win anything.
“People expect Liverpool to win trophies.”
